Obvious Deception

friends will…
listen
offer a shoulder to cry on
give tissues as needed
nurture
be excited to be with you
tell the truth
protect
support
engage
comfort
laugh with you
act like your #1 fan
shield you from oncoming shit
be ready and waiting

me having to stand up for myself
and up to you
proved once and for all
you were never willing
to give what should have
come so naturally

A bit of both actually. I ended up hurting someone inadvertently because of my immaturity and I’ve had my feelings hurt by someone else too.
They both have one thing in common though. They leave behind a yucky feeling that’s not easy to be rid of.
